Limited Event: Starlight Cruise

Perseid Meteor Shower Cruise – 8/6 & 8/10

A Celestial Light Show From the Best Seat on the Lake

From $45 per adult  ·  Ages 12+ Recommended

  ·  2 hours

Take to the waters of Lake Geneva to enjoy a unique Perseid Meteor Shower experience! The Lake Geneva Cruise Line and GLAS Education are partnering to offer you a lovely summer starlight evening cruise for this annual celestial event. Make a wish as you admire the meteors (popularly known as “falling stars”), learn from our tour guides about the constellations and their rich cultural heritage, and gaze up at the glimmering night sky over Lake Geneva as you glide along the waters in comfort. From hands-on demonstrations to engaging trivia with out-of-this-world prizes, you will find yourself immersed in a celestial experience like no other, surrounded by the stunning beauty of Lake Geneva under a star-filled sky.

The Perseid Meteor Shower is an annual event caused by the Earth’s orbit passing through the debris stream from Comet Swift-Tuttle. This dust and dirt from the comet burning up in the atmosphere brings us a spectacular show of “falling stars” every August!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tour good for kids?

We recommend this tour for ages 12+ due to the duration and late night. However, the Ice Cream Cruise and Best of the Lake Cruise are both ideal for families with younger children.

Do the boats run in bad weather?

As with any stargazing event, the weather is very important and unpredictable. Cancellations will only occur in the case of heavy rain or stormy weather.

Is there food on board?

We have a snack bar offering a wide range of tasty treats. Plus, a cash bar is also available on board.
